ATTENTION - Contains elements of a pool of press///

The Navy American announced Monday the launching of an operation of scale in the rebellious city of Falloujah, to 50 km in the west of Baghdad, after the murder Wednesday of four civil American.

"Our goal is clear, we want to capture the men that we seek. We do not want to go there and to draw in all the directions ", affirmed lieutenant James Vanzant.

The sunnite city was encircled and the soldiers allowed only the cars carrying number plates of Falloujah to reach it.

The officer of the Navy added that the operation would last several days.

(Translation note: "Navy American" = U.S. Marines)
